VANCOUVER—In a move that perfectly encapsulates Canada’s national identity, a new assisted suicide provider has launched “EcoExit™” — the world’s first fully carbon-neutral euthanasia service.
“We believe every Canadian deserves the right to die with dignity,” said founder Dr. Evelyn Greenleaf, a former environmental lawyer turned death doula. “But we also believe that right shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. That’s why every EcoExit procedure is 100% carbon neutral.”
The service offers three eco-friendly packages:
- The Gentle Leaf ($2,499): A peaceful IV drip in a sustainably harvested cedar room while a soft-spoken therapist reads excerpts from The Lorax. Your final exhale is offset with tree-planting credits in the Amazon.
- The Polar Bear’s Last Breath ($3,999): Conducted in a chilled room mimicking Arctic conditions. Includes a complimentary reusable water bottle and a video message from Greta Thunberg telling you your death is helping cool the planet.
- The Ultimate Recyclable ($5,999): Full compostable package. After the procedure, your body is cryogenically frozen, then turned into nutrient-rich soil for a memorial maple tree. “You literally become part of the carbon cycle,” Dr. Greenleaf explained proudly.
All medical equipment is solar-powered, the lethal drugs are sourced from ethical suppliers, and every client receives a “Thank You for Not Breathing” certificate along with their final carbon offset receipt.
Environmental groups have praised the initiative. One activist from Extinction Rebellion called it “the most responsible way to check out in a time of climate crisis.” Meanwhile, conservative critics are calling it “the logical endpoint of progressive insanity.”
When asked if offering carbon-neutral suicide might send the wrong message during a mental health crisis, Dr. Greenleaf replied, “We prefer to think of it as giving people agency over their personal emissions footprint. Some Canadians want to reduce their lifetime carbon output in one final, beautiful act.”
Booking is already surging. One 34-year-old Torontonian on the waitlist said, “I was going to kill myself anyway, but now I can do it guilt-free knowing I’m helping hit our net-zero targets.”
The company has also introduced a “Bring a Friend” discount for group exits and a loyalty program: Die five times, get the sixth one carbon-neutral for free (reincarnation not included).
In related news, Tim Hortons announced they will now offer “Double Double Dignity” — a final coffee paired with your chosen method of departure.
Only in Canada can you apologize for existing… and then apologize again for how you leave.
Maple syrup not included.
